"Look! What is that!?" A night patrol soldier stood on the city wall in the western part of the Xiche Empire, and suddenly pointed to the dim sky and shouted.

The patrol soldiers all looked up at the sky, and saw that the sky was full of firelight, like a cloud of fire.

Above the canopy, thousands of warriors of the Timber Wolf Clan held torches, and half of the canopy was painted red. The army of two or three hundred thousand was in good order, and did not make the slightest sound, but only brought a huge gust of wind to blow, causing the trees on the ground to sway wildly.

The patrol guard immediately informed the captain of the incident, and soon the news reached the ears of the captain of Iwaki Castle. While gathering his army, the castle captain informed the lord of the matter.

The movement outside woke up the sleeping Iwajo, and many people in the Iwaki opened the door, walked out of the street, and looked at the sky, everyone's eyes showed horror, and they wanted to see what the sea of fire above the sky was, this scene was too strange and terrifying, as if the end was coming.

"Quickly activate the barrier defense !!" The guards on the four sides of the wall of Rock Castle received an order from the city captain and instructed his soldiers to open the originally opened city barrier.

There are four huge spirit stones sealed on the four city walls, and the spirit stones are covered with talismans and many strange patterns. After the many soldiers laboriously opened the huge iron door blocking the spirit stone, a bright and dazzling pillar of light shot out from within the spirit stone.

Four pillars of light rose into the sky, forming an arc that touched and fused in the sky above Iwacheng, and then light began to diffuse from the contact points, as if vines and branches were growing, quickly forming a net-like protective barrier over the entire Iwaki City.

However, before Iwacheng's barrier defense could take shape, a dozen giant wolves covered in brown aura suddenly descended from the sky and landed on the barrier, and a strange light suddenly bloomed on the soles of their feet, condensing into spherical cannonballs.

!!The aura cannonball on the paw of the giant wolf's foot instantly crushed the unformed barrier defense, and more than a dozen giant wolves flew into the air with their strength. At the same time, countless torches fell from the sky, directly into the rock castle.

In an instant, Iwaki City became a sea of fire, and many houses were on fire, and those who stood outside the street and watched hurriedly hid inside, but when the houses were on fire, they hurriedly came out of the house, and were burned all over their bodies by the torches that rained down outside. In an instant, all kinds of wails and screams rang out, and the entire rock city turned into a purgatory on earth.

Above the sky, Lang Da stared at the scene below, turned his head and said to Lang Yu, the lord of the western region of the wolf clan beside him: "Lord Lang Yu, you should bring some warriors down to occupy this city, so that everyone can stop dropping the torch continuously!"

Lang Yu frowned, stared at the fire-lit city below, and asked a little puzzled: "Patriarch! This time we are here to take revenge on the Patriarch of Xuntai, just to find that mutant human! Why do you want to attack this city!?"

"Hmph, the man who maimed the man is one of the human race, and has slain many of my brothers, shouldn't this responsibility be paid by the humans?, and I sense that the boy is far west of the Empire. The time limit of the flying talisman is only two days, and when the time comes, it will definitely be blocked if it falls into the human sphere of influence! Now that an attack is launched on this larger rock city, its city lord will definitely ask for help from the surrounding cities! Then their military forces will be gathered here, and we are already flying towards the north, which can reduce the risk of our being blocked! Lord Lang Yu, if you think that this is just a grudge between our clan and that human boy, then you are very wrong!" Lang Da shook his head and sighed slightly, feeling a little disappointed that Lang Yu could not understand him.

Lang Yu pondered for a moment, his face was still solemn, full of confusion, and he said: "That is the case! Why don't you attack Yucang City by this method? Most of the houses in the main city of Rock City are made of rocks, and although the torch is dropped, it will not cause much damage to it, although I can lead the warriors to occupy it, but it is also a little troublesome! If there is grain and grass all over Yucang City, if a fire is thrown down, it will definitely have a huge impact, and it can even trigger more surrounding cities to send troops to come to the rescue, wouldn't it be more beneficial to our clan's westward advance!?"

"There is a lot of grain and grass in Yucang, which is the source of reserves for the entire western region of the empire! We can indeed cause many cities to shake when we burn it, but these grains and grasses are also good for our people! When the time comes, we will need to use the grain and grass of Yucang City to maintain the rations of the warriors! Naturally, we can't launch such an attack on Yucang City! You go down first to occupy the rock city, and then guard it for a while, and when you see that there are too many human troops coming to surround it, you will leave immediately and come to the west to join us! Go!!" After Lang Da finished speaking, he waved his hand at Lang Yu.

Lang Yu shook his head slightly, and then said nothing, it seems that he is indeed naïve, hundreds of years of peace have made his understanding of war wrong, this is indeed not a battle against individuals, this is a war between the entire race and the human race. Of course, as the leader of the Western Region of the Wolf Clan, Lang Yu naturally had some brains, and he quickly understood the significance of this move. And now that the emperor of the Xiche Empire has been replaced, it is in a state of chaos, I heard that the generalissimo of Anxi is dead, it is really good to launch an attack on many cities in the west at this time, and after occupying these human cities, the development of the entire timber wolf clan will definitely be even stronger.

As a result, many warriors of the Timberwolf Clan divided into a force and quickly fell towards Rock City, while the rest of the people continued to march west under the leadership of Langda.

......

On the southern border of the Xiche Empire, although it is autumn, the southern region is still warm and full of life, and many prosperous cities are full of greenery and flowers.

In the main border city, in the city of Southern Yunnan, in the central marshal's mansion of the city at this moment, a large hall is located, and the generalissimo Xiao Yan of Weinan is wrapped in bandages, sitting at the top of the hall, and below are the border guard generals wearing armor.

"It is rumored that the emperor escaped from the palace and came all the way south in the Pegasus Flying Car, I don't know where he is at the moment! I don't know what the opinions of the generals are, how to find the real emperor!?"

"Marshal! Now that Generalissimo Li Yuanfu of Zhendong is plotting rebellion and rebellion, he is already the son of Prince Limu and is known as the emperor! His subordinates think that they should gather troops, and those who plot rebellion in the Northern Expedition should abolish the puppet emperor and set up a new monarch!" said a bearded general who took a step forward and spoke.

"General Wu! Now that the emperor we support does not know the whereabouts of the emperor, even if the northern expedition is successful and the puppet emperor is abolished, then who will be appointed as the emperor? I think that we should organize secret submarine search teams to go to various places in the south, unite with the city lords or princes of various cities, and do our best to find out the whereabouts of the emperor! When the time comes, with the emperor himself in charge, he will definitely get more support, and the Northern Expedition will be victorious without a fight!" Another small-eyed general squinted and said.

"Hmph! The emperor went all the way south, but he didn't hear any news! I don't know whether it is life or death, if the emperor is dead, wouldn't it be meaningless for us to behave like this!? As for the emperor, we can find a virtuous person among the princes in the south!" the bearded General Wu snorted coldly and said disdainfully.

The generals in the main hall were divided into two factions, one faction thought that the fugitive emperor should be found, and the other faction thought that it was not appropriate to look for it.

After listening to this for a while, Generalissimo Weinan gently patted the table and motioned for the generals to be quiet, and then said: "What you say is reasonable! However, the emperor must not be found, and when General Zhu proposes to organize a submarine search team to go to various cities in the south to search! At the same time, our army should also actively train, dispatch the army to important towns in the south, and be ready to fight at any time! Of course, training should be the mainstay! Now that the generalissimo Zhendong has tens of millions of brave troops, we should avoid its edge and wait until the morale of its army is weak before the northern expedition! Moreover, among the many brave armies, the army under the command of Generalissimo Anxi will definitely disintegrate and return to the west in the near future, and Generalissimo Zhendong will not be able to stay in the imperial city for a long time, and the eastern border still needs to be in charge. Otherwise, in some time we will send a team of centaurs to attack the eastern part of the empire, and then we will leave such a rebel homeless!!"

"The marshal is wise!!" all the generals agreed after listening to the generalissimo's words.

So, under the arrangement of the generalissimo of Weinan, a secret submarine search team dedicated to finding Guan Sheng was born. At the same time, the Warriors in the border area also began to advance to the north, slowly infiltrating the cities in the south.
